He grew up in a time,
Cadd9 C/B
When a third-grade education,
Cadd9 C/B
Was all the school you needed,

To work the family farm.
G D/F#
He'd take time off on Sunday,
Cadd9 C/B
Him and all his family,
Am
warm a pew,
C/B Cadd9 (FILL 1) G
And give thanks to the Lord.
Cadd9 C/B Am7 C/B
There was no gray, only black and white.
Cadd9 C/B
Didn't need no-one to tell him,
A7 D
What was wrong or right.
Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Cadd9 D
'Cause he had God, Family, and Country.
G D/F#
He set aside his plow,
Cadd9 C/B
In early 1940,
Cadd9 C/B
Said goodbye to his small town,
A7 D
And put on the Army green.
G D/F#
Hard Times on the front lines,
Cadd9 C/B
Writin' letters on wet paper,
A7 C/B C (FILL 1) G
Not one word about the awful things he'd seen.
Cadd9 C/B
His was a generation,
A7 C/B
That answered without question.

They knew they had to win,
A7 D
'Cause they were fightin' for...
Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
God, Family, and Country.

G D/F#
On the coffee table,
Cadd9 C/B
Sits the family Bible,
Cadd9 C/B
Where just last year he added,
A7 D
A little boy to the family tree.
G D/F#
There's the folded flag they gave us,
Cadd9 C/B
On the day he left us.
A7 Am
But the thing that I remember most,
A7 D
Is the way that he...
Believed...
Cadd9 D Cadd9 G
In God, Family, and Country...
Cadd9
Ohhh, we've got God...

Family...
(FILL 1)
And Country...
